- "Relationships aren't only about finding romance, comfort, and love . . . You have to be willing to feel the thud."
- Her sister, Gray:
- "Okay, so maybe the relationship successes have been too few and far between to put your mind at ease, but you're a great person and guys do like you. You just have to wait for the right one."
- Her friends:
- Natalie: "Maybe you are closed off to the idea of finding love. Do you really believe that love will find you?"
- Daryl: "Maybe your mom wasn't referring to the openness of your heart when she said you had a closed vibe, but rather the openness of your legs."
- Joan: "Your standards are too high. You're holding out for a Superman
when you should be settling for an every-man"
- Layla: "The right guy is out there, you just have to go that extra step to find him."
- The host of a really weird TV show, Mel Moodle:
- "Single adults are a rare breed and not all that easy to track in the wild. They are an anomoly at best and I just can't wait to go behind the scenes to see what makes them tick."
